STEVE DALACHINSKY VISUAL POETRY AND COLLAGE INSTALLATION



     

INTRODUCTION


By STEVE DALACHINSKY, editor

   
   

     The influence for this curated event was the many shows I have participated in that focused on poets who create collage. In this era we sometimes tend to overlook many artists who do crossover work unless we are deeply personally engaged with those artists.

     In the case of those selected for this "exhibit" I have decided to incorporate visual poetry (collage oriented work that incorporates "language.") I have also mixed poets with visual artists to blur the boundaries and therefore if you are not familiar with some or many of the participants you will hopefully see/feel no distinctions between them, all whom, in their own ways, are multi-disciplinary.

     Many involved I met thru the Mail Art circuit. Thank you Michael Rothenberg and Big Bridge for this opportunity. Comments are welcome
